Our Mission:

The main objective of AUS Student Residential Life Department is to support and complement the mission of the university and its academic programs by creating a comfortable and safe environment that contributes to the success of resident students' educational progress and personal growth.

The AUS residential halls consist of eight men's and four women's dormitory buildings, which are supervised by staff on twenty four hours , seven days a week basis.

The Spring semester inter dormitory sports activities were well subscribed by the resident students. Over 500 registrations were received for the inter dormitory sports. Football itself had 165 students participating.

On student demand, Student Residential Life Department added women’s volleyball and karate, as well as a bowling competition.

Prize distribution was combined with the AUS Sports Day in the sports complex on 28th April, 2009. The final list of games included: Men's football, table tennis, billiard,chess , foosball and women's volleyball and Karate.

Farewell Functions for Graduating Residents (Spring 2009)

Two farewell functions were organized for the graduating resident students who had spent a number of years in the residential halls. This event is conducted with a team effort between the resident students and the residential halls staff. Each year a selected number of students showcase their talent in front of the graduating students.

This year students were involved in publicity of the event by inviting other residents and preparing flyers, presentations and speeches.

The functions took place on 14th April for the women’s residential halls and 21st April for the men.

Resident Assistant (RA) Training Session (Fall 2008)

Student Residential Life Department, in collaboration with Judicial Affairs and Learning and Counseling Services, conducted a training session for the Resident Assistants who are employed for Fall 2008. The training was held on 2nd November and was well participated.

The program included presentations by Judicial Affairs and the Student Counselor as well as a role-play session between the students and Residential Hall's staff members.

The session was very effective in bringing out student issues related to dorms and was a good occasion to provide the RAs with information that will help them in their role.

Inter dormitory Sports Tournament (Fall 2008)

Residents in Fall semester were offered an action filled inter dormitory tournament that always brings out a competitive spirit, as each dorm residents roots for his/her dorm to bring in the medals.
